The present invention rela-tes to e. new and improved holder for candles. wax tapers, and other similar articles, and the invention consists principally in combining with the socket to receive the end of the cendle a. sharp-pointed needle or pin, by means of which the holder can be secured in any desired position to a limb or o. branch of e tree, by simply driving or forcing such pin into and through the seid limb or bra-uch, In the accompanying plate of drawings my improved holder 'o'r candles is illustreted- Figure 1 being e side viewof the same, showing it es secured through the pin or needle to the limb or branch of a tree, and

Figure 2 a plnn or top view of the socket endo` the holder.

This socket Vis formed of bent upright spring-arms C, which, when the candle is placed in end between them, tightly and firmly grasp and hold the same.
